Dr Aditi –
I was not expecting much honestly, but the book is very well structured. The pain diagnosis section and restorability assessment are probably my favourite parts. There are a few things I still cross-check with standard textbooks, but overall it is a very practical guide.
Nikita –
Simple language, not overloaded with jargon, and lots of clinical relevance.
